She ate them herself.
I don't know much about peanut allergies. My first thought is that there wouldn't be a problem on the return trip if she just didn't eat them again, but I could be very wrong on that.

one would think. Then again, I used to work with someone who had a nut allergy, and they claimed they couldn't even be in the same room. Even shaking hands with someone who'd eaten a nut was dangerous because of the possibility of transferring the oil. She was pretty dramatic, so I never really believed her, but I guess you never know.

I had a soldier whose allergy to poison ivy would legitimately flare up anytime we went to the field at Camp Dodge. Good soldier, but Camp Dodge has way more poison ivy than he could ever handle. I could believe that there's more to it than just ingesting them, but if her allergy was that bad, it seems like a request that they could make in advance.

there was a girl who died, I believe, from kissing her boyfriend who had eaten a PB&J sandwich.

In this case, if the girl only had an allergy to eating them - then parents need to be parents and not let her eat them. If it's a "person across the aisle eats them and I go into anaphylactic shock" thing, that I can understand. But then how do you ever go out into public? That sucks, but I don't know how you can expect everyone else to never eat or have contact with nut products.

And, of course, they could not give her the peanuts.

according to the article, they didn't know she had an allergy to nuts.
